"I don't know if this counts as coercion..."
Fukasaku sighed, "Although the sir signed it voluntarily at the time..."
"But the adults said that without signing the contract, the future would be the destruction of Mount Myōboku!"
The Holy Land destroyed?
Tsunade Jiraiya both gasped in shock!
Although the Great Toad Sage is old, his powerful Natural Energy is not to be underestimated!
And then there's the Fukasaku family, who taught him the Senjutsu!
Gamabunta, Gamaken, Gamahiro, etc...
All things considered, the combined strength of the Three Great Sage Lands of the Summoning World is truly no less than that of the major ninja villages in the Shinobi World!
Tsunade understood the significance of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy!
So they were equally horrified!
What's happening to the Shinobi World??
One after another, terrifyingly powerful strangers appeared!
"Oh, right."
Fukasaku looked at Tsunade with some sympathy, "That person left Mount Myōboku heading towards Shikkotsu Forest. You'd better summon Katsuyu and ask him what happened."
"What?!"
Tsunade gasped in surprise and immediately bit her finger to Hand Seals!
Could something really have happened?!
"Bang!"
" Lady Tsunade."
A smaller Katsuyu clone perched on Tsunade's shoulder and greeted her.
fine...
Unlike the other two sacred sites, Shikkotsu Forest is home to a large number of Katsuyu that are split off from the Slug Sage.
The size of the summoned Katsuyu changes according to the summoner's Chakra!
The more Chakra outputs, the larger one's size becomes.
Having signed Tsunade with Shikkotsu Forest, Tsunade had naturally seen the Slug Sage's true form.
It truly deserves to be called the largest summoning beast in the Summoning World!
However, the fact that it was able to summon a clone at least indicates that the Slug Sage was not in mortal danger.
Tsunade felt half relieved, and the other half...
" Katsuyu, did your true form also sign some strange contract?"
The Katsuyu nodded, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "My main body has already signed a contract with that lord; the terms and conditions of the Three Great Sage Lands should be roughly the same."
Tsunade frowned. "So, if I summon you for healing in the future, I'll have to pay you too?"
The Katsuyu's antennae made a nodding motion.
Her voice was soft and sweet, yet it was incredibly poignant. "Yes, Lady Tsunade."
"Not only you, but if you want to summon a clone to heal your companions in the future, you will also need to pay."
It's not just the Shinobi World that's changed; even the Summoning World is becoming somewhat incomprehensible...
Tsunade looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with confusion.
" Lady Tsunade, please don't be sad."
"I discussed this with that person. Since there aren't many ninjas who have signed contracts with Shikkotsu Forest, and they aren't particularly skilled in combat."
"Therefore, that esteemed person specifically agreed to offer preferential treatment to those who sign contracts with Shikkotsu Forest."
"We offer single-use cards, monthly cards, annual cards, and lifetime cards..."
Fortunately, the Katsuyu we see now are just fissioned forms and don't have faces, so they can't turn red.
At most, it's just the antennae on its head, swaying very fast...
It's clear that the Holy Land is somewhat embarrassed to engage in these money-making ventures...
Based on the descriptions given by the three summoned beasts, the group roughly learned about the changes in the Summoning World.
Jiraiya turned to Fukasaku and said, "Boss, you should know that person's name or picture, right?"
"Know..."
"But..."
Seeing the Jiraiya look in Jiraiya's eyes, Fukasaku shifted his gaze, "The contract stipulates that we can't reveal that person's information..."
"Otherwise, if this old man were to speak up, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the Holy Land and the immortals."
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade with a rather speechless expression...
Tsunade whispered for a moment and received the same answer from the Katsuyu.
The two stared at each other for a moment, their eyes filled with a mixture of doubt and seriousness.
Although no clues were obtained from them, their bizarre practice of constantly demanding money...
Perhaps the answer... lies hidden in the Kirigakure!
Meanwhile, the Konoha delegation stepped onto the Rich Man Bridge leading to the Land of Water.
Meanwhile, Six Paths of Pain, having received Black Zetsu's notification, had also changed course and headed towards Kirigakure.
Despite guessing Black Zetsu's ill intentions, Nine-Tails was an indispensable part of the plan.
After discussing it with Konan for a Nagato time, Nagato himself finally headed to the Masked Man's headquarters!
Following behind the Konoha group, Obito, disguised as an ordinary merchant, was also secretly puzzled.
Judging by the timeline, Black and White Zetsu should have returned long ago...
He infiltrated Kirigakure, only to find himself all alone.
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu, whom Obito was so eager to Obito, was secretly following two people he had never expected.
The familiar scent of Chakra...
Uchiha Fugaku, Shisui Uchiha!
Black Zetsu held his breath, hanging far behind the two, feeling uneasy and puzzled!
After informing Pain a few days ago, I planned to return immediately to reunite with Obito.
But noticing that the warning spell left at the base had been triggered, Black Zetsu rushed over without stopping!
Black Zetsu, upon returning to base, was immediately dumbfounded!
Even medical and laboratory equipment of any value were completely looted!
And the important thing...
Madara Uchiha's aging body has also vanished without a trace!
Ignoring Obito's adventure in Kirigakure, Black Zetsu immediately began searching the surrounding area.
If even Madara's body is gone, then the thousand-year plan to save his mother can be declared bankrupt!
Although I did not witness the base being looted, I do not know who did it.
However, Fugaku Shisui, who were found not far from the base, were clearly the most suspicious candidates!
Black Zetsu racked his brains but still couldn't figure out why the base's location had been discovered.
Was it a coincidence, or was it intentionally done for Madara's corpse?
Ever since the mysterious controller behind Kirigakure appeared, I've felt that everything in the Shinobi World has been developing beyond my expectations!
Black Zetsu had been following him from a distance for almost two days, trying various methods, but ultimately giving up on them one by one.
Notify the others in the Akatsuki?
Putting aside whether Nagato's current attitude will lead to help...
After helping and retrieving the body, Obito will truly be proven wrong for disguising his identity!
Did you notify Obito separately?
Black Zetsu, with his keen senses, had already noticed the abundant Chakra within the two!
Regardless of whether they could win, Black Zetsu wouldn't dare let Obito the risk just because of Shisui's special eye abilities!
After thinking for a long time,
Black Zetsu ultimately decided to secretly follow the two and find their hideout.
They wait for them to release Ban's body, then look for an opportunity to take it back.
But as Black Zetsu followed these two all the way, a faint sense of unease always welled up in his heart.
He knew that the Uchiha Clan had joined Kirigakure, but the two of them didn't seem to be heading back to Kirigakure; instead, they seemed to be circling around the Land of Waves.
"Chieftain, can you find out who's following us...?"
Shisui asked curiously.
"If that kid hadn't sent a telepathic message, I wouldn't have believed there was someone secretly following us..."
I thought that after evolving into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and gaining a huge boost in strength, there would be few rivals left in the Shinobi World.
As a result, others secretly followed them all the way, but neither they nor Shisui noticed anything.
Fugaku shook his head and sighed softly, "It seems there are quite a few hidden masters in the Shinobi World."
"If it weren't for Haruma Boy, the Uchiha Clan's fate would really be..."
